June 11 Showdown: Al-Qadir Case to Decide Imran Khan's Fate

International News: There is a possibility of a major turn in Pakistan's politics once again. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President and Senior Advocate Barrister Gauhar Ali Khan made a big statement on Sunday, claiming that the party's founder, Imran Khan, could get major legal relief on June 11. Gauhar Ali said that the Islamabad High Court will hear the petition seeking cancellation of the sentence of Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in the Al-Qadir Trust scam on that day, and he is hopeful that justice will be delivered by the court.

'Imran Khan's ideology is still the soul of the party.'

Gauhar Ali Khan, while addressing the press, said that even though Imran Khan is in jail, his thinking and political views are determining the direction of the party. He also made it clear that Imran Khan's release will not be part of any deal, and if he gets relief from the court, it will be completely within the ambit of the Constitution and the law. He also stressed that the allegations leveled against Imran Khan are completely politically motivated.

What is the Al-Qadir Trust case?

The case is related to a foreign transaction of 190 million pounds, which was handed over to the Government of Pakistan by the UK's National Crime Agency. It is alleged that this amount was not deposited in government accounts properly, but it was misused through a private trust, the Al-Qadir Trust. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been made the main accused in this case.

Imran Khan has been in jail since his arrest in 2023. According to Gauhar Ali, no concrete chargesheet has been made public in this case so far, which proves that this arrest was made under a conspiracy.

PTI invites opposition parties, prepares for joint movement

Barrister Gauhar Ali Khan not only expressed hope on the legal front but also made a big announcement on the political front. He said that PTI will now contact other opposition parties and start a national movement. He said that this fight is not just for Imran Khan but to protect the democracy and constitution of Pakistan. He appealed to other political parties to rise above political differences and unite in the interest of the country.

PTI's plan is also ready before the budget

Gauhar Ali said that the party will hold an important press conference on June 9, in which they will present their strategy and economic policy regarding the upcoming budget. He also said that the current government has worsened the economic condition of the country, and PTI will come up with an alternative and practical plan. This conference will be in line with Imran Khan's ideology, which is based on transparency and public welfare.

The date of June 11 can be very important for Pakistan's politics. If Imran Khan gets relief from the court, it will not only give new energy to PTI but can also shake the balance between the ruling party and the opposition. At the same time, the announcement of opposition unity and movement proposed by the party indicates that the political temperature in Pakistan is going to rise significantly in the coming weeks.
